307 Ring
Zhu Wei looked at the three Hanmen disciples who had made a big salute and said, "You all sit down." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
"Xie Shizi." The three of them got up and walked back to their seats.
When Yang Liu turned to leave, the corner of his eye still caught the unexpected gaze of the man opposite.
The gaze was like a falcon, and like a wolf, staring at her so tightly that it seemed to swallow her in its belly.
She couldn't help but shiver again, feeling that her body was very cold, and followed Bai Xuan to Tingxue Pavilion indifferently.
Walking to the road, Yang Liu came to his senses from his trance, suddenly stood still, looked at Bai Xuan beside him unnaturally, and said, "Your deceased son will help entertain you." I can walk back myself. β
Bai Xuan seemed a little uneasy, and smiled lightly: "Madam, how can you do this." None of the slaves and maids with you followed. β
"The front is Tingxue Pavilion. You don't have to worry. Shizi is not evenly staffed, you go to help me to heal my injuries with peace of mind. Yang Liu fixed his expression and said busily.
Bai Xuan listened and smiled thoughtfully: "Okay then." The slave and maid retired. β
After Bai Xuan left, Yang Liu was in shock again.
How did he end up here?
He saw her, he must have been.
What can I do?
Yang Liu is like an ant on a hot nest at the moment, panicked and confused.
Not far from her side, there was a burst of laughter from a distance, as if it was Xie Yun and the master of Changle Pavilion.
She couldn't let them discover their gaffes and see any clues.
Yang Liu hurriedly dodged behind the rockery next to her, she cautiously saw through the cracks in the stones, there was no Changle among the girls, but there were the thirteen girls of the Li family, the sister of Li Huigu, who was very good at observing words and feelings, as well as Xie Yun and Yuan Si.
Miss Yuan Si is her confidant, she really wants to stop Yuan Si'er, but when she thinks that Li Shisangu is right in front of her, if she finds something and then tells Changle, then she will soon have no place in Pei Wangfu.
Yang Liu opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't stop Miss Yuan Si'er, she watched Yuan Si'er and Li Shisangu and Xie Yun walk away in a daze.
What now?
Her heart was pounding with tension, and each beat seemed to pop out of her chest.
What to do?
What should she do?
The man's eyes told her that he would not give up, and instead of exposing what they knew to their faces, he felt as tormented as he waited for the death sentence to be pronounced.
She should find someone to confide in her fears.
But who to look for?
Yang Liu stood behind the rockery and turned around, never stepping out of the grass behind the rockery.
As soon as he thought of that person's gloomy gaze, Yang Liu had goosebumps all over his body.
A servant girl walked by, and Yang Liu looked at it, and it turned out to be Chongbi of the Beiling Courtyard.
She couldn't help but think of Zhu Yue.
Hearing that Chongbi was talking to the attendants of the Lingmoss Courtyard, the old lady gave her a plate of pastries.
Chong Bi came over and was about to walk into the North Spirit Courtyard, when he suddenly saw the young lady behind the rockery.
Chongbi was stunned.
She glanced at the young lady, and saw that the young lady looked flustered, standing there at a loss, as if something big had happened.
Chongbi looked at her in confusion as she walked.
Yang Liu didn't dare to say anything.
When Chongbi walked back, he told Zhu Yue about Fang Cai.
After listening to Chongbi's words, Zhu Yue took a bite of the tea cake and went out to find Yangliu. I saw Yang Liu walking towards Tingxue Pavilion with a heavy heart.
She shouted twice in the back, but Yang Liu didn't hear it.
Zhu Yue rushed forward and shouted, "Sister-in-law! β
At this time, Yang Liu turned around and looked at Zhu Yue in surprise, "Yi'an, it's you." β
She was still uneasy as she spoke.
Zhu Xuan pulled her to her courtyard, and said as she walked: "Sister-in-law, the old lady gave me a plate of tea cakes." You can eat with me. β
Yang Liu nodded.
She was dragged by Zhu Xuan to the Beiling Courtyard, and the two of them closed the door and talked.
Zhu Yue poured her a cup of tea, and after Yang Liu picked up the teacup, her body still couldn't help but shiver.
She had no intention of drinking tea, held the teacup tightly with her hand, and said anxiously: "Yi'an, I'm going to be finished." β
"What the hell is going on?" Zhu Yu asked puzzledly, "Did my eldest brother quarrel with you?" β
As she spoke, her gaze fell on the back of Yang Liu's hot red hand, "Your hand is injured?" β
Yang Liu glanced at the back of his hand and said, "It's no big deal, I just accidentally bumped it." She said as her fingers were still shaking.
Zhu Yue hurriedly said, "What are you worried about?" β
"Mr. Fangβ"
"Which side-" As soon as Zhu Yue mentioned her surname, she suddenly remembered the Han Shi who abducted Yang Liu, and her apricot eyes widened, "Is it him?" β
Yang Liu nodded in a daze, and tears flowed down his eyes.
Zhu Yue finally understood what was going on!
If she remembered correctly, when that Han Shi left, it meant that he had nothing to do with Yang Liu, not to mention that that person was just a Han Shi clan with no power, no power, no background and no financial resources, how could he dare to harass Yang Liu.
Zhu Xuan pondered and asked, "He came to you?" β
"I just stumbled upon him. He was actually at the feast. What to do? He already knows my whereabouts, do you think he will tell your eldest brother about my past? Yang Liu regretted and worried.
The more she talked, the more overwhelmed she became.
Zhu Yue hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry. If he dares to say half a word, I will cut out his tongue. β
Yang Liu was slightly stunned: "Yi'an, this is my own business after all, you don't need to help me so much." It is my own sin, and I bear it upon myself. β
"Is that person in trouble with you now?"
Yang Liu shook his head: "When I first saw him, I was startled and had to leave the table first. But the look in his eyes was telling me that he wasn't going to throw in the towel. If the son of the world knew about this, I would be finished. β
Zhu Yu hurriedly comforted: "Since this person came to our palace, it is for the three places of martial arts. β
Yang Liu suddenly remembered and hurriedly said, "Yes." I heard the prince say that among the three places, there is him. He seems to be a relative of Mrs. Wei. β
Zhu Yue was puzzled: "Mrs. Wei? That's weird. Doesn't Mrs. Wei have the support of Nangong Mansion? Why did she want to bypass the general and go through the door of the son? β
Yang Liu shook his head: "I don't know about this. However, I guess that Nangong Mansion and Uncle Huang are not in harmony, and our palace is of the same clan as Uncle Huang, and with our side, Uncle Huang will not have so many scruples. are all saying that Uncle Huang's martial arts move this time is to slowly pave the way for seizing military power. I didn't expect Mr. Fang to have a relationship with Mrs. Wei. β
If such a poor family really had anything to do with Mrs. Wei, they would not have fallen to this point.
Zhu Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Since it is Mrs. Wei's person, things will be easy to handle." No matter what Mrs. Wei is, she is also from Nangong Mansion. β
Saying that, she comforted Yang Liu again: "Sister Yang, don't worry about this matter first. If he really dares to come to you for trouble, you can tell me in advance. β
"Yi'an, if you hadn't accompanied me for a while, I really didn't know how to spend today."
Yang Liu put down the teacup and held Zhu Yue's hand as he spoke, "I have a hunch that I won't be long with your eldest brother." β
"Don't say such unlucky things. You have to understand, you are the patriarch of King Pei's Mansion, and the burden on your body is so heavy, how can you unload it if you want? Zhu Yue comforted her.
They talked for a long time, until Miss Bai Xuan came here to call the young lady, Yang Liu hurriedly wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, hid the panic in her heart, and then stood up and said to Zhu Xuan: "Yi'an, I'll leave first." β
"Just tell me if there's something."
"Don't worry." Zhu Yue comforted.
During the days when Wuju was preparing, everything was as usual in the house.
A month later, a ring was set up in Kyoto's busiest square.
The north of the ring has built a high-pitched color shed, which is exquisitely arranged, the yellow dragon chair in the middle is particularly noble, and there are black chairs and couch seats on both sides. The arrangement extends to the outside of the shed.
On the outskirts were rudimentary mats, for some of the low-ranking officials who came to see the excitement.
A railing is also set up around the ring, so that ordinary people can watch from the outside of the railing.
Scholars who have been recommended by officials of the second rank or above can only go on stage to chase rankings after passing the three examinations of archery, personal expertise, and the art of war.
Zhu Yue deliberately paid attention to the list recommended by the prince, and that Mr. Fang had always been among them.
To be able to pass these three exams and become the finalists in the final competition, there is still strength.
It's a pity that this kind of person is too eager to make progress and wants to take shortcuts, so he doesn't hesitate to abduct the girl of the Yang family of Sizhitang.
There are already problems with character.
On the day of the official competition, Shizi invited the whole province to watch the competition.
Yang Liu made an excuse that he was unwell.
The old lady paid attention and said, "If you are unwell, you need to find a doctor to take a look." Eldest daughter-in-law, you can't be lazy. β
Mrs. Guo hurriedly said: "Daughter-in-law understands. After a while, he called Doctor Hua Tai to see a doctor for his granddaughter-in-law. β
Yang Liu's face turned red when he heard this.
She had already guessed what the old lady and Mrs. Guo meant.
They are all looking forward to her expecting a baby as soon as possible.
Zhu Wei smiled: "Look at the grandmother is in a hurry, the grandson is not in a hurry and the grandmother is in a hurry." β
"You're still joking. It's been a long time. Your grandmother is for your good. Mrs. Guo was disgusted, and said and glanced at the red-faced willow next to her, "Since you are unwell." I asked someone to ask Dr. Hua to come. What is lacking, what is missing, what is missing, just talk to Steward Li. You are the wife of the Pei Palace, and the affairs of the palace will not be handed over to you in the future. How can you let outsiders do it? β
Mrs. Guo said insinuatingly, her eyes deliberately aimed at Mrs. Ding, who was nothing.
Mrs. Ding smiled and turned her head to talk to Zhu Xuan softly, not taking Mrs. Guo seriously at all.
What Mrs. Guo said was like a fart in her mind.
Yang Liu also knew that the relationship between Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Ding was cold before, and it was difficult to answer, so she just nodded silently.
Mrs. Guo felt that Yang Liu had not done enough.
Who is her mother-in-law?
Zhu Yue hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law." If you're not feeling well, go back and rest. β
"Old lady, granddaughter-in-law retires." Yang Liu said respectfully.
The old lady was overjoyed, and she felt that Yang Liu was probably pregnant.
The old lady smiled and nodded.
When the people from King Pei's Mansion arrived in the ring, they just met and greeted the people in Nangong Mansion, and someone reported that the emperor had come up!
Accompanied by his uncle, the emperor rode Luan Yu to the colorful shed at the north of the ring.
All the people bent down in unison: "The emperor is healthy!" β
This dynasty doesn't even have to kneel to the emperor? Zhu Yu was secretly surprised in her heart.
When she looked down, she looked at the people in all directions, and saw that the people, like the ministers, just bent down and said that the emperor was well.
It is not kneeling and prostrating like during the Qing Dynasty.
When Zhu Xuan was surprised, he heard the emperor say: "Flat." β
And all the people raised their heads in unison.
At this time, the emperor looked at the imperial uncle next to him, and saw that the imperial uncle was wearing purple python civilian clothes, and there was not much difference between the emperor and the emperor in terms of clothing except for the color.
This also shows that the emperor's power is already very large, and he is only one step away from ascending to the sky.
At this time, a judge came to the front and said, "Your Majesty." A total of 108 finalists in the martial arts examination passed the preliminary examination and were shortlisted for the re-examination, and the re-examination will be divided into two groups, and the winner will be promoted by drawing lots. Now only twenty people have been screened out, and they are already masters in this martial arts. β
Zhu Yue listened and searched for Mr. Fang in the ring.
It is very strange that this Mr. Fang said that he was a scholar, and he was able to break through many difficulties and finally break into the finals.
What is the truth?
As the judge spoke, the twenty men had already walked towards the emperor together, all thanking him.
Then reported his net worth one by one, and Zhu Xuan deliberately listened to Mr. Fang's reported net worth: "Below, I am twenty years old this year, and I am recommended by Pei Wangfu." β
After the scholars reported one by one, the competition began.
Zhu Yue was not interested in the comparison, she sat on the chair boredly, the competition of the ancients was not fun at all, that Mr. Fang was so weak that he could break into the top 20, could it be a killer feature?
Zhu Yu yawned, and then caused a cold eye like a sharp arrow thrown by Mrs. Guo, and Nangong Zhao smiled slightly.
Beyond Nangong Zhao's line of sight, Zhu Yue saw Mingkang behind him.
Nangong Zhao faintly noticed the carelessness of her gaze, so he inadvertently turned his head to look at the side behind him, and the moment he saw Ming Kang, Nangong Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly.
Zhu Yue's heart jumped.
She hurriedly looked away, absentmindedly at the boring competition in the ring.
She could see that these people were compared to brute force, but Mr. Fang was different, he seemed to know how to point points and know opportunism, so such a thin and shriveled person could break into the finals.
Nangong Zhao should know about that Mr. Fang in the ring.
Bored, she left her chair, walked out of the gatekeeper, and ran out into the garden behind the shed to bask in the sun.
Lang Yue gave her the pastries she brought with her to fill her belly.
"I'm starving." Zhu Yue ate in a big gulp as he spoke, and then ate another piece after eating.
Before he could eat the third piece, he coughed violently.
It's so dry! Forget to drink water.
It was here that a glass of water was delivered to her.
Zhu Xuan was slightly stunned, looking at the hand holding the teacup, he knew who it was. She gasped and took it, sipping from the water.
Nangong Zhao said calmly: "Drink slowly." β
"Uh, thank you, Uncle Zhao." Zhu Yue drank the waterway.
Nangong Zhao glanced at her lightly, she lowered her head weakly, (To be continued.) )
